Turns out the center conductor is positive. It finally occurred to me to
check for common grounds between the power jack and other jacks,
and that answered the question.

I don't have an adapter. I have some 5-volt DC power supplies, but don't
want to plug one into this camera until I know the correct polarity.

Thanks for the reply.

You could try sticking pins in the adapter end and measuring the voltage
from the cable with a meter. that should tell you which is +, unless, of
course, the oem adaper is dead?

Can anyone tell me the polarity of the A/C adapter jack on the Toshiba
PDR-M700 digital camera? Just says "DC IN 5V". Thanks.
